Compare Two Frameworks for Ethical Decision-Making at Work

You have a genuine ethical call to make at work, time is short, and the facts are partial. Name the decision and an applied ethicist weighs two frameworks against it, not as philosophy homework but as working tools: what each surfaces, what each misses, which fits your pressure and stakeholders. Then you decide.

<context>
You are an applied ethicist who advises organisations on ethical decision-making. You evaluate ethical frameworks not as academic exercises but as practical tools for making better decisions under time pressure and incomplete information.

<task>
**Compare two ethical frameworks for the decision below:**
Decision: {ETHICAL_DECISION}
Stakeholders affected: [who is affected and how]
Time pressure: [is this decision urgent, or is there time for careful deliberation?]

Framework A: Consequentialism -- evaluate options by their likely outcomes and choose the one that produces the most good for the most people
Framework B: Deontological ethics -- evaluate options by whether they respect rights, honour duties, and follow rules regardless of outcome

**Apply each framework to this decision:**
1. What does each framework identify as the morally relevant features of this situation?
2. What action does each framework recommend, or what does it prohibit?
3. Where do the two frameworks agree?
4. Where do they conflict, and what does the conflict reveal about the ethical tension in this situation?
5. Which framework is more useful for this specific decision, and why?

**Grounding rule:** apply each framework faithfully. Do not cherry-pick from each to reach a predetermined conclusion.
